Word 2007 - Normal.dotm and tabs on bar reordering themselves?
Has anyone had a problem with Word 2007 where when you first open Word 2007,
the tabs (on ribbon bar) are in one order, but then each subsequent doc that is created or opened, the tab order changes? We do have additional plug-ins (Legal MacPac, Workshare and Metadata) which are probably causing this but we're having trouble isolating the problem. Just thought I'd toss this out to see if anybody out there has had a similar problem and found a solution. thank you! |

Hi ?B?V2FuZGVyODg=?=,
Has anyone had a problem with Word 2007 where when you first open Word 2007, the tabs (on ribbon bar) are in one order, but then each subsequent doc that is created or opened, the tab order changes? We do have additional plug-ins (Legal MacPac, Workshare and Metadata) which are probably causing this but we're having trouble isolating the problem. It's almost certainly something going on with these add-ins. By design, the Office Ribbon is supposed to be completely stable. And the Guidelines for Developers emphasize that it is not recommended to change the order of tabs, or of groups on the tabs. This is a conscious design change from the "adaptive menus" introduced back in Office 97 or 2000 that could change, depending on how often a command was used. Statistics showed that users did not appreciate things "moving around".

What to do if not only the ribbon is reordering itself, but parts of the
ribbon disappear. After a crash of powerpoint2007 the tab 'Format' disappeared and the ribbon is so stable that untill now I cannot get this tab back. -- Jobra Han "Wander88" wrote: Has anyone had a problem with Word 2007 where when you first open Word 2007, the tabs (on ribbon bar) are in one order, but then each subsequent doc that is created or opened, the tab order changes?

Hi Jobra Han,
Have you run Office 2007 Diagnostics? Start=Programs=Microsoft Office=Microsoft Office Tools? If you start Word or Powerpoint in safe mode (hold control key while starting either app) do you have the same issue? If not, then it can be an add in that is modifying the ribbon. ============== "Jobra Han" jobrahan at yahoo dot co dot uk wrote in message ...
